Midsomer Maunderingsby L. Neil Smith
Two years ago, last June 28th, 2014, I think my sanity may have
been saved by a British television series, Midsomer Murders. Unbelievably, I had
suffered a stroke. My left leg and left arm were paralyzed, and I had difficulty speaking
clearly. I was in a local hospital, trapped inside a body that had betrayed me, and it was
extremely hard sometimes to get to sleep.

Asking For Terror: France and the u.S.by Nic Leobold
The recent terror attack in Nice, France and u.S. police killings in
America bring up the same point libertarians, voluntaryists and Free Market Anarchists have
been pounding the table on for years. All this violence against innocents and government targets
appears to be mostly the result of previous massive violence perpetrated by government and the state.

E-Book Round Up: Social Justice Warriors Always Lieby Sean Gangol
I know that there are at least two reviews of Vox Day‘s Social
Justice Warriors Always Lie that have been published by L. Neil
Smith's THE LIBERTARIAN
ENTERPRISE but I decided to put my own two cents in, since I now consider Social
Justice Warriors (SJW‘s) to be one of the biggest threats to individual freedom. While I can certainly
say that I don‘t agree with Vox Day on every issue, he definitely hit the nail right on the head,
when it comes to SJW‘s. In my article, “The Social Justice Trap” I discussed how SJW‘s
like to infect and divide every movement that they are able to infiltrate. Sadly, the libertarian movement has been no exception.

Obama's Failureby Jim Davidson
Recently, president Barack Obama said that police should admit
their failures, and that doing so would improve the lives of people in
their communities. He said these things to shirk his own personal
responsibility for the hundreds of deaths annually by police killing
(mostly white male suspects) in the United States while prosecuting
Obama's personal wars against the American people: the drug war, the
war on terror, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the war in
Libya, the war in Syria, the war on undocumented working, the war on
illegally crossing imaginary boundaries, and every other war that he
not only gleefully prosecutes but that he has been paid to wage on us,
in enormous campaign contributions and will be paid with speaking fees
and other direct payments beginning in 2017 by the military contractor
companies, giant pharmaceutical conglomerates, prisons for profit
industry, and enormous banking and insurance companies.

What about the Workers? A Libertarian Answerby Sean Gabb
I was called this morning by the BBC. It wanted me to comment on
the claims that Sports direct, a chain of sports clothing shops, mistreats its workers—keeping them on
zero-hours contracts, sometimes not paying them even
the minimum wage, scaring them out of going sick, generally treating
them like dirt. Would I care to go on air to defend the right of
employers to behave in this way? I am increasingly turning down
invitations to go on radio and television, and this was an invitation
I declined. I suggested the researcher should call the Adam Smith
Institute. This would almost certainly provide a young man to
rhapsodise about the wonders of the free market. My own answer would
be too complex for the average BBC presenter to understand, and I
might be cut off in mid-sentence.

Deadly Assault Trucksby Andrew Hansis
If only one child's life can be saved… it will all be worth it…
right? In light of the recent and horrific terrorist attack in Nice, France
there must be something done immediately to eliminate the deadly
weapon utilized from the streets of the United States, no, the world.
This depraved person used a large high speed multi-ton truck to kill
and injure over a hundred innocent people who had gathered to
celebrate. The driver, who was shot and killed by Police armed with
guns, was most likely just a mentally deranged man of no particular
religious or political belief who just need a hug and better access to
mental health care. It was the trucks fault after all, not the human
behind the wheel.

Obama: "It's easier to get a Glock than a book…."by Mike Blessing
When addressing the assembled mourners in Dallas, Barry Obama said
the following: It's easier for a teenager to get his hands on a Glock
than a computer … or even a book. First, there's these places called libraries that will let
you read books without going through any paperwork at all. Quite a
few of these … libraries … will let you check out books
and—wait for it—take them home without so much as a
simple background check.

Past Time to Be Humanby Cathy L. Z. Smith
It is conservatism, in the generic sense, that will destroy the
promise of America, and the republicans and the democrats—and their
followers—are the poster children for that conservatism.
I am an anarchist. I am an anarchist because that is the true and
truthful philosophy of the founding of this country—though those
founders, too, had their conservative bias—manifest in an
unwillingness to call things by their real names, define them
appropriately, and provide for their (and our) future security. They
may, perhaps and in some instances, be forgiven—having hailed from
a more literate time—but they might have drawn more thoroughly on
the lessons of history. They might have seen that the leviathan they
were unleashing would stop at nothing to return to the absolute rule
they had fought to escape.

I keep hearing about these Suicide Bombers. What we need
is a program for Assisted Suicide Bombing. "You want to
go to heaven? Let us help!" The UN would just screw it
up. The Red Cross seems mostly competent, but this sounds
a bit out of their goals. Perhaps someone can start up
a small business to carry it out? I'm sure things will
get sorted out.

And like I said, this here presidential election is
a choice of either a Used Car Salesman, or The Wicked
Witch of the West. (Better watch out from those buckets
of water, darlin'!) What a country!
